1 Corinthians 6 — Context

1

How is it that anyone of you, having a dispute against another, would dare to be judged before the iniquitous, and not before the saints?

2

Or do you not know that the saints from this age shall judge it? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy, then, to judge even the smallest matters?

3

Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more the things of this age?

4

Therefore, if you have matters to judge concerning this age, why not appoint those who are most contemptible in the Church to judge these things!
